A festive Passover table

NEW YORK, Feb. 24 (JTA)  The following will help “spring” up your Passover table.

 Garden Centerpiece: Fill a large basket with potted African violets, and miniature spring flowers, such as gladiolas or tulips. Cover the tops of pots and basket edges with Spanish moss (found at florists).

· Festive Touch: Tuck several parsley sprigs into the fold of napkins.

· Design Matzah Placecards: On the left side of folded white placecards, outline a ¾ inch square with a brown felt pen. Draw several rows of dashes horizontally across each square, representing perforation marks. To the right of your matzah squares, write one person’s name per card.

· Make Hardboiled Eggs Appear Roasted: Add one onion per egg (skin and all) to the pot of water. Boil for two hours, or until eggs turn a mottled brown. Add water if needed. Eggs will not taste of onions.
